Mrs G went out a couple of weeks ago and bought a bird feeder in her bid to make the garden a bit nicer and attract some birds. I've been taking this piss out of her because so far the only birds that have shown interest were a couple of pigeons and a seagull.She's just messaged me to say there's now a rat out there climbing up the pole and eating the bird food

Classic. Squirrels usually eat everything in the birdfeeders. A rat is just an insult.

You need to get one that spins when something heavy lands on it. That'll keep the pigeons, squirrels and rats off it.

got a bird feeder last year for the exact same reasons. birds wont touch it, we dont even have any rats taking an interest. picky, ungrateful fucks

I don't particularly mind rats - so long as they stay in the garden and I don't find one in my bed. Mrs is freaking out a bit though and already browsing the RightMove website

On another wildlife related note; At the in-laws I've just fed the cats outside on the table and watched as 2 magpies have swooped down, stuffed chunks of food in their beaks, fucked off somewhere then come back and done it again. Zero fucks given. Cats don't know what to do
